MATTHEW PERRY isn’t interested in a FRIENDS reunion because he feels it would spoil the show’s original ending.

The hit comedy ended in 2004 with an epic double episode featuring a happy conclusion to the show’s on-off romance between Ross and Rachel, played by Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer.

In the finale Perry’s character Chandler Bing and his pals Joey, Monica and Phoebe also moved on with their lives, and Matthew now thinks a reunion would spoil the ending.

“That’s the concern about doing a reunion show or movie because it ended so well,” he tells British talk show This Morning. “We don’t want to sort of ruin that. Everybody asks about a reunion and there’s been no real talk of that.”

Although there are currently no plans for the return of the comedy, all the main cast except Perry reunited last month for a TV tribute to director James Burrows.

While Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Aniston, Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc attended the reunion, Matthew was unable to be there in person due to theatre commitments in London. He sent a video message.

But Matthew is keen to point out that he doesn’t regret his time on Friends, but his years on the sitcom has made other acting jobs more difficult.

“It was such a great job, we all loved each other so much, and we all had such a wonderful time that subsequent jobs have been harder to do than that one,” he says.

“Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman has spoken out to debunk rumors suggesting the stars of the hit sitcom have been secretly hatching plans for a TV reunion.

The hugely successful comedy, starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry, came to an end in 2004 after 10 seasons on air, but the show was back in the headlines this week as reports suggested bosses at NBC network were putting together plans for a 2014 comeback.

However, co-creator Kauffman has now stepped up to silence the gossip, insisting a new season is not in the works.

She tells E! Online, “I’m going to clear this up right now – no, it’s not happening!”

Kauffman is also adamant the series will never be made into a movie like TV contemporary “Sex and The City.”

She adds, “‘Friends’ was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there’s no need anymore. I’d rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can’t believe you did that. It was horrible.'”

The reunion is the latest Friends get together – Cox and David Schwimmer have guest starred on Lisa Kudrow’s “Web Therapy”; Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston have appeared on an episode of Cox’s “Cougar Town,” and Aniston also guest starred on Cox’s comedy “Dirt.”

Matthew Perry has put his troubled past behind him by basing his new TV character on his former self – revealing he spent years acting like “a selfish jerk.”

The former “Friends” funnyman has grappled with numerous personal issues over the years, including alcohol addiction and prescription drug problems, and he’s convinced he wasn’t a “nice” person.

Perry is adamant he’s now changed, and he’s poured his past experiences into writing new TV show “Mr. Sunshine,” which will see him play a womanizing sports manager suffering a mid-life crisis.

And the actor admits he based the character on himself.

He tells Reuters, “This character is me, like five years ago, before any possible enlightenment could have come into my life. I am very in touch with that kind of selfish guy who is trying to have a better life and how confused a selfish person would get if he were told that the way to have a better life is to be nicer to people.

“The guy is just learning now not to be a selfish jerk… They say, write what you know. So that’s an interesting road to go on – changing terrible behavior to being a better guy… I knew if I wrote something that would be a component of it. I am much nicer now!”

TV stars Matthew Perry and Kristin Davis are Hollywood’s new “it” couple, according to new reports.

The couple were spotted kissing while dining at Los Angeles restaurant La Dolce Vita recently, where they shared ice cream and looked like a couple in love.

A fellow diner tells Life & Style magazine, “He kept his arm around her the entire time and kissed her forehead at one point.”

Meanwhile, a friend of “Sex and the City” alum Davis’ says, “She’s really fallen for Matthew.”

The two singles have a string of romance stories to their credits — Perry is often romantically linked to tennis player pal Jennifer Capriati and has recently been connected to actress Piper Perabo, while Davis swore tales of her dating Steve Martin and Brit Damian Lewis were untrue.
